Necropolis – Details, episodes & analysis

Some of our regulars have a casual chat about Floridian death metal to ease us into triple figures and a new era for Necropolis. Music at the end of the episode: Atheist: Your Life's Retribution

We hope you get no enjoyment from this whatsoever.

Kam Lee joins to discuss seeing Jason naked, the early days of death metal, his time with Death and Massacre, the Florida scene, what it was like being a Pacific Islander kid in Florida, Lovecraft themes in his music, what's next for Massacre, and more!

The new Massacre single Evil Dead Rise, releasing April 1st, can be bought here: https://massacre3.bandcamp.com/album/evil-dead-rise-ep-single

The song at the end of the episode is Ruins Of R'lyeh from Massacre's 2021 album 'Resurgence'

Necropolis is my new podcast where I interview interesting people from all spectrums of extreme metal. Being that I am an outlier in the metal scene (I’m not in any metal bands), I feel that I present a musician’s perspective without being involved with the industry too much. The first episode was conducted with the immensely talented Jesse Jolly from BlightMass, Amon, After Death, Crimson Massacre, Diabolic, Blastmasters, Lull Me To Larvae, Promethean Horde, etc. We discussed his background in-depth with him starting out as just a kid from the hills of Tennessee to someone who has been called ‘the future of metal’ by George Fisher (Corpsegrinder) from Cannibal Corpse. This episode is a must-hear for people interested in what the general Tampa death metal scene is like.

Metal is notorious for the sheer volume of subgenres that seem to spring up every year. In this episode, we analyse how many of them are real, or whether they are simply different descriptors for the same phenomenon.
